We are thrilled to report that nido has added Anna Maria Horner’s Field Study rayon challis to its curated selection of fabrics offered at the shop. We snapped a bunch more photos of the new collection but our camera batteries died before we could get them transferred to our computer so this one teaser photo will have to do.

If you would like to learn more about the look, feel and how to wash and care for rayon challis, we encourage you to read Anna Maria Horner’s blog posts here and here.

I just had to share this adorable dress that Patrice, a nido friend and regular, sewed for her 6 month old grand daughter.

Made out of Heather Ross Nursery Versery, this little dress and cap are the sweetest. Thanks for bringing it in to share with us Patrice.

adminvt — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 15:06:22 +0000

We are in the process of putting together a bunch of new fat quarter bundles for the shop right now. Fat quarters are 18″ X 22″ cuts that are perfect for a wide range of projects including coasters, pic cushions, children’s assessories, a variety of tote bags, computer cases, wallets, wristlets and much, MUCH more. And let’s not forget they are brillant if you dabble in any kind of patchwork. nido’s fat quarter bundles are carefully selected fabrics put together by our staff. Playing around with fabric combinations in a shop full of fun, fresh fabrics is about as good as it gets for fabric lovers like ourselves, and we really enjoy making them.

“Spring Bicycle” is one of our currents favorite combinations.

We also are the digging “Ladybug Patch” bundle.

What do you make with fat quarters?
